||There’s a precedent on earth to Act. That’s when life becomes revealed good. Evin if you think life is Bad, it means you haven’t had the Ravelation. You just have to know that, at any moment, E.T. will become very good (I think this sounds like Mount Sinai): a microcosmic redemption has erupted ~ that’s |Joseph still lives… {et doesn’t have to Goa Wei}|; that is, |David lives and endures…||| ~ David Katz

MW: Mashiach will himself be a cause for division. People will either love him or hate him. And it is precisely why a lot of 'religious' people may also have problems with Mashiach when he doesn't look just like them. I imagine everyone will have to make some kind of mental adjustment in order to accept Mashiach.

Tamar Yonah: [H]e doesn't necessarily even have to be religious.

"Howard Stern - Ben Stiller In 'Navi Uniform'"

Howard Stern: You walked out on the Academy Awards dressed up as a "Navi" and you're still willing to do that. I'm sure a part of you says, "You know what? I've made a lot of movies, now. I don't have to be the clown who walks out in a 'Navi' costume."

Robin Quivers: That's become a thing. Do you feel that you have to continue to do that?

Benjamin Stiller: No. I don't. Those things happen. It just becomes a choice you make in the moment and you say to yourself, "Well, does this feel right, right now?" Do I feel like doing this or not.

Howard Stern: I like that you do that. I'm afraid. I'm afraid you'll lose that because you've become so successful, but that's what I see happens to a lot of guys. They don't want to be the clown anymore. They sort of have to be the leading man.

Benjamin Stiller: I just think it gets to a point where you want to do things that are interesting to you and you don't want to keep doing the same thing. If something feels too familiar, then you go, "Why am I doing this? Well, you know, what's interesting to me? What do I want to be doing?"

Howard Stern: There is a certain Risk in going out there dressed as a "Navi": you could say to yourself, "You know what? I do want to be the goofy guy who runs out as a 'Navi,' but you know what? Fuck Hollywood." I've done a lot in my career. I don't have to be the guy in the "Navi" uniform. I want to go out and, you know, just be me. I don't always have to be the guy who entertains everyone.

Benjamin Stiller: Right.

Howard Stern: And yet you still hold on to that.

Benjamin Stiller: Well, I mean, like I said, it depends on where I'm at in the moment when that opportunity comes up and I say, "Well, do I feel like doing it or not. Do I think it could be funny." You know. That's it. It's not an overall thing where you go, "Where am I in my life, now? Do I need to be this guy?" It's just sort of like: Okay.

“Y’all act like he came out here with the black agenda on his back. He’s not the black savior of the 21st century. Go find the one who is” ~ Camonghne Felix

Ya'akov Avinu: Dan will avenge his people, like one, Shevatim Yisra'el. Dan will be a serpent on the road, a viper on the path, which bites the horse's heels, so its rider falls backwards. For Your salvation, I hope, O L-rd!

Moshe Rabbeinu: And of Dan he said: "Dan is a young lion, streaming from Bashan."

Rabbi David Katz: Before I got into this, Samson was something of a Revelation. There's actually a lot of Famous things on the Internet, come to think of it, that Moshiakh would be a Nazir. Nobody says that in Classic Literature, but Jacob on his deathbed is going to prophecy that when he sees the blessing for Dan that he thinks that He's saying, you know, that it's the Messiah, and he prays for Shimshon to succeed, but Shimshon dies, therefore he's not the Moshiach, so Jacob is confused. The Zohar comes along and says, "Who in fact helps Moshiach succeed? And it's none other than Tsariah ben Dan." The Redemption comes from the helping aid of Tsariah ben Dan.

J. Immanuel Schochet: Maimonides concludes the laws of Naziriteship as follows: "He who vows unto G-d by way of holiness (as opposed to mere abstinence for its own sake) does well and is praiseworthy. Of him it is said, 'the crown of his G-d is upon his head... he is holy unto G-d.' Scripture considers him equal to a prophet, as it is said, "I set up prophets from your sons and Nazirites from your young men" (Amos 2:11).

What is Mashiach and Redemption

Rabbi Eliyahu Kin: He's coming, he's on his way and it's very, very close. The script has all ready been written. We have the script of what this world is going to go through approximately. We will not have taxation. We will be completely set free.

The Ten Lost Tribes

Rabbi Elyahu Kin: The Jews living in Israel are only from about 2-3 Tribes. We wanna know where everybody else is because part of the prophecies clearly state that they will be coming back and joining us. A very important prophecy has yet to be fulfilled and that is the coming back of the 10 Lost Tribes. Very soon, when we do discover them ~ the 10 Lost Tribes ~ what it means is that our family will grow and, once again, there will be akhdut: there will be unity between all the Tribes. For the most part, the Tribes that were in the South were Shevet Y'hudah-Binyamin-and Shim'on. Everybody else were in the North. They were placed in Assyria (Assyria was a large area that comprised of portions of Turkey, Armenia, Iraq: that was Ashur.) and Iran. The commentators explain that even though that's where they were driven they did not stay in one location. They continued Eastward, so we're expecting to see the Tribes move on towards The East and populate a larger region, a larger area than they initially occupied. The Ten Tribes are not the only ones that went into exile. There's a very special group called the descendants or Children of Yitro, the father-in-law of Moshe. A very special group who observed certain strict laws based on what their father instructed them to do. The third group that is most fascinating of all is B'nei Moshe, the Children of Moshe, also a separate group that also went into exile. Now, it is possible that even portions of Y'huda and Binyamin went along with them. We have Jews that are from Georgia who observe Torah and Mitzvot just like everybody else and, most likely, they're not from the 10 Lost Tribes simply because they've been in touch with us all the time. They have the full tradition: the Oral and the Written Word, so Jews in that area may be those portions of Y'huda and Binyamin that went into exile with the 10 Lost Tribes. The Levi is not the Children of Moshe; anybody who is a Levi today is most likely not from the Children of Moshe; he's just from the rest of the Tribe. The Children of Moshe were exiled in different ways and in different directions, somehow taken by a cloud and placed on the other side of the River Sambatyon: a River that throws up stones 6 days a week and right before Shabbat the River rests, so we have a description of this River, as you can see in this Midrash: it's a little bit of a question whether there's any water in the River because one version seems to say that it's a River of stones and sand that has some sort of volcanic activities 6 days a week and one description says that there's water; it's a regular River. In any event, this group called B'nei Moshe is on the Other Side. I say the Other Side because according to the Midrash that said they went to the Sambatyon~the group of Tribes~some of them came close to Sambatyon and the others went Beyond the Sambatyon. It is a big difference between the two of them, but those that went Beyond the Sambatyon are surrounded~protected~ by this River. Nobody should bother them. In other words, there's a group of Jews out there that, according to our tradition, are completely observant~this B'nei Moshe~till this very day, righteous, they have their own king, they're not to be bothered, and, therefore, not everybody will be able to know where they are because the idea is not to bother them. There are many ways that He can hide it. There have been reports, supposedly, by astronauts and others who have seen something strange in the area of Viet Nam. Even though it's there, you may not be able to see it. Nevertheless, we know it exists. As far as Ramban is concerned, it's hidden. There is one opinion that this River was hidden during the time of the Inquisition. Some say it just stopped working. It was a beautiful land full of only clean animals. No unclean animals. Very, very wealthy with their own king. Apparently, it still exists. They will all come back from all sorts of places that you could never imagine them from coming, including a place called Sinim. M'Eretz Sinim. China. There are 2 opinions as to where they actually went, whether it was some going to Africa or some going to Asia. The majority opinion is that this is in Asia, except 1 or 2 Tribes. They're gonna come from all corners of the world. Some of them are gonna come back with Moshiakh ben Yosef. Yosef brings his share. Moshiakh ben David is in charge, if you can call it that, of bringing the rest of the Tribes back, so there will be an effort made, and there are efforts being made, as we speak, by various groups and organizations to try to find out where they are. Some of them are actually coming back. Now. As we speak. Some of them are in Israel all ready. Y'huda and Binyamin are all ready making aliyah. According to our tradition, there is a group or two that did go to Africa. There are over 1,000,000 B'nei Menashe and many have come to Israel. Many are still waiting to come.

Rabbi Elyahu Kin: We are living in the Generation of Moshiakh.

According to the Midrash, ancient Yisra'elim, much like Yisra'elim today, had the appearance of "boxwood" or "honey brown."

Hamashiach bin Hanachash

@doreendotan: HaNachash is HaMashiach.

Yeranen Yaakov: The Gr"a explains that the snake is a hint to Mashiah, who is a descendant of Yishai (King David's father), who is called a "snake" (see Shemuel Bet 17 and Shabbat 55b). Similarly, as is known, נחש is the same gematria as משיח (both are 358 - see Adir Bamarom by the Ramha"l, p. 339). The gestation period of a snake symbolizes the period of numerous and terrible troubles which are said to come before Mashiah, and which are named by Haza"l 'The birthpangs of Mashiah,' since the verse allegorizes it to birth pangs that precede the birth of a child (Yeshaya 26:18, Yirmiya 30:6; see Sanhedrin 95b and Ketubot 111a).

Rebbe Nachman: "And Esther found favor in the sight of all who looked upon her" (Esther 2:15). The Rabbis explained this to mean that "everyone who saw her imagined she was from his own nation" (Megillah 13a). God said to Moses, "For you have found favor in My eyes and I know you by name" (Exodus 33:17). When "all the hosts of heaven bow to you [i.e. the Master of Prayer]" because they all receive and borrow from him, through this he finds favor in their eyes, since "each one imagines he is from his own nation." And through finding favor in the eyes of all, then: "I know you by name" for the "name" is the soul, as it is written, "the soul of every living creature is its name" (Genesis 2:19). 

Rashi: The Leader contains every Jew within him. 

R’ David Katz: The actual Messiah will inherit all paths of seed, ending up as an expression in Levy, under the guard of Moses. 

Those in the Generation of Mashiah have the same souls as those in the Generation of the Flood. ~ Rav Tzadok Hakohen of Lublin

“According to certain sources, Moshiach be Yosef will serve as Moshiach ben David’s viceroy. Thus finally bringing to an end the schism between the northern Ten Tribes, which were ruled by Joseph’s descendants, and the Kingdom of Judea, which was ruled by the Davidic dynasty.” - Naftali Silberberg
